      “The IRS Tax Filing Software that TurboTax Is Trying to Kill Just Got Open Sourced” might be more clear but headlines try to cut those sorts of words out, unfortunately at the cost of readability sometimes.

      They accidentally included 8 verbs. (tax, filing, is, trying, kill, got, open, sourced)

    It’s licensed under CC0 to anyone wondering. BSD 0-Clause would probably be better but still fantastic.

    The more money you pay someone to find the loop holes in the tax code the less likely you are to support out government and its war machine.
